Okay, so remember the time I posted a picture of my exciting new toilet paper holder? (I mean, of course you do! How could you forget?) And a whole slew of you were all, OMFG YOUR PAPER IS UNDER AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE OVER I AM HAVING A STROKE NOW AAAEEEIIIIIIII?

Honestly, the whole thing made me want to create an entire personality test based solely on toilet-paper-hanging preferences. Which I did. Look!

OVER: Sort of nuts, crazed OCD type-A types who probably get those eyelid twitches a lot.UNDER: Laid back, easy-going types who probably know where to score good weed.

I have an acquaintance who is so friggin anal she vacuums her grass. That's right. Vacuums. Her. Grass. And when she comes over with her hubby (who we're friends with), she flips our toilet paper.

I made a little sign, just for her, that says "if you continue to flip the roll we won't let you use the bathroom here anymore - surveilance camera activated" and I put it out whenever I expect her over. ;)

I'm such a meanie, but flipping someone else's toilet paper roll is both creepy and gross with your hands all over it. How do we know you even washed?? Ewwww.

I am completely an over girl but I always thought I was laid back. I don't know how to score any drugs but totally laid back. Oh well. I do judge people at their house when the tp is under. How can you live like that? I have never changed it, I swear.

I've never cared about the over/under question, probably because my mom cared so very much. And now I've repressed which way she liked, but based on your analysis, I'm guessing over. Once upon a time I knew how to score good weed, but now I am old and boring. Sigh. Does that put me in the under column?

Hi. I just stumbled across your great blog and wondered if you'd like a whole lot of free worldwide audience to see your neat blog? If so, take a look at the URL I posted and have a lot of fun with it...!

My mom and I disagreed on which way to mount the paper. Whenever I was at her house and was near the paper I would change it. Then she would change it back. We never discussed it, just changed it back and fourth. Then when she would come visit me, the same thing. No discussion about it ever, we just did it. Now my daughter has started doing the same thing. Just changes it every time she is back home. Is this a strange family tradition or what?

First, I have to say, I'm an Over Lady for the TP, but that's because of my OCD husband has passed this Crazy Butt Obessiveness on me... so I'm cool with it... my house it tight and clean... but my Lovely Words of Advice for you my friend is, SCREW what other people think!! Life is to short!! Do your own thing.. as long as you aren't breaking any laws and have a nice productive happy family life, screw whatever anyone else thinks, EVER.. seriously... I had to learn this the hard life lesson, the hard way, but good thing is, I'm just turning 32 this Dec... so I'm glad I learned it young enough to be able to truly enjoy the days God has blessed me with.. Hang in there and Be yourself and be Proud of who you and your family are, Amen! :-)

Also, my TP is within arm's reach of the toilet (this is because my bathroom is really tiny and the toilet is about two feet away from the vanity unit in which I store the TP), so, I'm very glad to say, I've never had to do the duckwalk.

OMGOSH to "Laid back, easy-going types who probably know where to score good weed"!!!

I love it! It's 100 percent correct and yet somehow there is no doubt in my mind that this theory is only proven by you. But seriously, it's easier to rip from the bottom, to pull and try to rip from the top you risk unravelling the whole roll! UNDER PEOPLE!! :)

OK on the toilet paper issue .. GET THIS! I am Australian, but moved here to the US in 1999. When I was in Australia I was CRAZY about having the toilet paper under; I would also change it at other people's houses.

Now in America I am just as crazy about having it OVER!

Huh?

Different sides of the world; under and over! Maybe that's why they really call it Down Under!
